Good Friday parade, Hala Vuna, Ma'ufanga, 19 April 2019.

A Good Friday parade on Hala Vuna by members of the Catholic Church, attracted crowds at Ma’ufanga this morning, 19 April.

During the parade from Hala ‘Alaivahamama’o to St Mary’s Cathedral, church members reenacted the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Worshippers dressed as Roman soldiers thrashed a cross-carrying Jesus and knocked him to the ground. At intervals during the parade, biblical phrases were recited, and then in the grounds of St Mary’s Cathedral the drama of the crucifixion was reenacted.
